Why does commercial hunting ammo damage the gun? I don't plan on using anything bigger then 150 grain.

I think jimbob summed up everything pretty well.
There are
some commercial hunting loads that are probably Garand-safe. I recall a list floating around a while back on the CMP forum listing loads that were considered safe, and I
think some Remington Core-Lokt 150-grain was on that list, but don't remember what else. I highly recommend doing your research on this, though.
Personally, I would just play it safe and get an adjustable gas plug. They are inexpensive, and take all of about 10 seconds to change out with a big flat-blade screwdriver.
